of the encryption, authentication, and certification features of the
OpenSSL library to securely tunnel IP networks over a single UDP or TCP
port.  It can use the Marcus Franz Xaver Johannes Oberhumers LZO library

Update Information:

This is an extended update of the OpenVPN 2.6.7 release which contains security
fixes for CVE-2023-46849 and CVE-2023-46850.  That release had a regression

as well.
